Orrery in brass, stone and solid oak

This orrery combines three materials: polished semi-precious stone for the planets, engraved brass for the mechanism and solid oak for the base. Together they recall the scientific instruments of earlier centuries.

What makes this orrery worth it

Every part is on display. Nothing is hidden behind a casing, so the craftsmanship is part of the decoration.

• Semi-precious stone: natural color and veining, so no two models are alike.
• Engraved gears: brass wheels with fine detailing.
• Zodiac ring: a brass band engraved with the signs of the zodiac.
• Twelve-sided base: solid oak resting on twelve brass feet.

Craft and astronomy on a single base.

The warm grain of the oak suits a Scandinavian interior, while the brass adds a classic touch. Nine planets and 28 moons turn on their own arms around the center. Place it where the arms have room to move, such as a wide shelf or a cabinet.
